Chapter 462: Armored Section and Armored Forces

readx; When Fang Dashan continued along this line of thought, even Shen Gang on the side couldn't help but exude his imagination, if there is really such a land warship, which is not afraid of the enemy's bullets and even artillery strikes, and is free and has fierce firepower, then wouldn't it become an invincible steel monster, if there is such a land warship in the national army, it will be easy to sweep through China, and even it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to fight against the great powers, not too much, if there is such a land warship to cooperate, Then when the time comes, the fortress built by many heavy artillery and heavy machine guns to conquer Qingdao will not have such big casualties!

Chen Jingyun listened to Fang Dashan's words, and didn't interject too much, just nodded from time to time, and then showed a look of encouragement for Fang Dashan to continue, and after Fang Dashan was encouraged, he also said more and more, and all kinds of ideas in his mind seemed to be endless, even the idea of equipping armored cars with rotating turrets and machine guns in the same row was said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although there is still some distance from the mode of tanks and armored troops mentioned in Fang Dashankou, it has to be said that this person seems to have touched the door of the armored forces, and Chen Jingyun has a great impression of this person. This trip to watch the drill can find this person, and it is worth the trip.

When Fang Dashan said about it, Chen Jingyun also spoke slowly: "Some of the ideas you said here before are very interesting, but you should also consider that if you directly modify the car as you said, add steel plates and heavy machine guns or firepower, will the car itself be able to withstand it?" ”

Fang Dashan's face changed slightly when he heard this, he naturally knew this situation, when he first modified the four armored cars, he found that there was no way to install too thick steel plates, otherwise the car would not move at all, and if the steel plates were too thin, they would not be able to effectively defend against enemy artillery strikes and even close-range rifle fire could not be stopped, for example, in the previous exercise, the steel plates of the four armored cars were only five millimeters, and the coverage was also very small, but not only could not block the mortar shelling, Even ordinary bullets could not be stopped at close range, and if they were really used on the battlefield, this thin-skinned armored car would rush directly into the battlefield and be smashed into a sieve by the enemy's heavy machine guns in less than two minutes.

Fang Dashan immediately said: "If you choose a larger car with more power to modify it, you can even specially design this kind of armored vehicle, if the armor is more than ten millimeters, it is enough to resist the attack of the enemy's ordinary bullets!" And the firepower can also meet the needs of supporting infantry operations! ”

After Chen Jingyun heard this, he felt that it was necessary to tell them about the tractor factory he had introduced, otherwise these generals would definitely not know that a tractor factory had been introduced in many industrial plans!

"At the beginning of the year, in the industrial planning, we introduced a tractor factory, although the tractor is only used for agricultural cultivation, but it uses crawler walking gear, which means that its load-bearing surname can be very good, and the crawler field walking surname can be much better than the wheeled type! So can such a tractor be effectively converted into an armored vehicle? Chen Jingyun didn't say it explicitly, but his words were already very obvious.

Fang Dashan actually didn't know what a tractor was, but as soon as he heard that the tractor in Chen Jingyun's mouth could carry a good load and was suitable for walking in the wild, then as long as these two conditions were sufficient, then it should be able to be converted into the kind of land warship he had conceived.

At this time, Chen Jingyun didn't give them much time to think, and directly turned to Shen Gang and said: "The staff department has organized a few people here to prepare to set up an armored section to be responsible for the research and development, application and tactical research of various armored vehicles!" ”

Chen Jingyun has always been decisive in doing things, and today's things are like this, he didn't give Shen Gang and the others time to think about it at all, and he didn't even inform him in advance, but directly gave Shen Gang the task of forming an armored section.

Immediately, Chen Jingyun said to Fang Dashan: "The position of the head of the armored section, are you interested?" ”

Fang Dashan didn't understand it at this time, this so-called armor section was completely set up for him alone, and in addition to Fang Dashan, other suitable people could be found in the huge national army to hold this position. Looking at Chen Jingyun's appearance today, it is enough to see that Chen Jingyun attaches great importance to the armor department, so that his personal future will be fully guaranteed.

Immediately, he replied loudly: "Thank you President for cultivating!" ”

Chen Jingyun still smiled and nodded: "Xinli of the Armored Section, you have to do a good job, when the time comes, in addition to the staff department will send you people to support the work, I will also ask people from the tractor factory and several departments of the equipment department to cooperate." I hope you will implement the work as soon as possible! ”

Fang Dashan is naturally full of words!

After watching a drill, Chen Jingyun returned to Jurentang, as for the things he ordered before, naturally someone would see and do it, and the next day Chen Jingyun summoned Fang Dashan again, it is obvious that today's Fang Dashan is different from yesterday's, because yesterday's Fang Dashan was still a major, and today he has already hung up the rank of lieutenant colonel. And his official title has also changed to Chief of the Armored Section of the Transportation Department of the General Staff. Although this department doesn't even have an office now, it doesn't affect Fang Dashan's eagerness to carry out his work.

This is mainly because Fang Dashan is afraid that the establishment of the armor department is just a whim for Chen Jingyun, if he doesn't take advantage of the hot iron now, maybe Chen Jingyun will leave Fang Dashan behind him in a few days, but Fang Dashan didn't expect that he would be summoned by Chen Jingyun again the next day.

This time, Chen Jingyun did not ask him too many opinions about the armored car, but handed him several documents, which also included some sketches drawn by Chen Jingyun himself.

From these sketches, Fang Dashan seemed to see the shadow of the land warship he had imagined, with a rectangular body, a rotating turret in the center, a crawler walking system with multiple sets of load-bearing wheels, and heavy armor on the front and turret, Fang Dashan could hardly believe that Chen Jingyun could conceive such a seemingly perfect weapon from his own few sentences.

Chen Jingyun said: "These are some of my thoughts on the future armored vehicles and armored forces, you can take them back for reference." For the work of the future armored section, I would like to say two points, the first is naturally to design and build these conceived weapons, and the second is that the armored section will also set up a test unit to test the formation of armored troops and various tactics and so on! ”

Although Chen Jingyun knows some general information about tanks and armored forces, he only knows some general ones, he knows that tanks are very powerful, and he also knows how to write the three words blitzkrieg, but you have to ask him to write a code of operation for tanks, how armored troops should be organized, what tactics to use, and even the specific design of tanks. Just like for the Navy and Air Force, Chen Jingyun knows what an ordinary person should know, but he will never be able to write a naval combat manual, let alone get the navy's various combat plans, such as how to arrange the cruiser formation? How to arrange the formation of the enemy? How should the battle formation be arranged? These things are not professional naval officers, it is impossible to know them at all, and even the so-called military fans of later generations can only know some scratches at most. Even if it is all kinds of tactical knowledge in the army, it is also from the memory of the original 'Chen Jingyun'.

So this armored unit is the same, Chen Jingyun knows that tanks are very powerful, and he also knows some basic elements of tanks, but if you want to design a tank that can fight, he can't do it. He also knows how to use armored forces, such as centralized use, interspersing large depths with armored clusters, etc., but he can't do anything if you ask him to get a tank combat guide or something. This kind of thing is by no means something that can be made by just looking at a few documents and browsing the forum, but it needs to be adapted to the actual conditions of the time, and many problems can be found and improved through a lot of experiments and exercises.

Therefore, he needs to hand over these specific surnames to a special person to deal with, and Fang Dashan can be said to be a specific executor. Chen Jingyun didn't expect Fang Dashan to be able to create a complete set of military theories for armored forces like Guderian and other military geniuses, he only asked Fang Dashan to do it according to his own ideas, as for what strategic military theories, Chen Jingyun asked himself to know more than anyone in this world. What guerrilla warfare pulls, what blitzkriegs, great depth interspersed, air-ground integration, the application of naval aviation, etc., he generally knows a thing or two, and for a superior person, it is enough to know these things!

After he made his request, naturally a large group of generals and leading officers enriched the theory he put forward, and it was specific to every corner of the army! For example, he put forward requirements for the Navy for a high-speed cruiser fleet, so the Navy group will formulate relevant tactics, indicators for new warships, and so on.

Designing battleships or tanks by himself has never been his hobby!

After Fang Dashan got these materials from Chen Jingyun, and was eager to show himself in front of Chen Jingyun, he didn't even wait for Chen Jingyun to return to Nanjing, he rushed back to Nanjing first, and after preparing for the establishment of the armored section office, he immediately held talks with the technicians of the Wuhu Tractor Factory, which had not yet completed the construction, and learned in detail what type of tractors the Wuhu Tractor Factory would produce after it was put into operation, and the specific surname Neng, and he recruited several designers from the Equipment Department to set up armored vehicles on the basis of the tractor. Well, that is, the tank in Chen Jingyun's mouth. Although Fang Dashan couldn't figure out that Chen Jingyun still chose the awkward name of tank in order to give up the mighty name of the land battleship, but this was Chen Jingyun's personal order, so he naturally could only use the word tank.

With the efforts of Fang Dashan and others, China's first tank has been slowly presented on the drawings!
